I've been getting a lot of requests from you asking how to get a good piano sound from Mainstage. While I personally prefer to use 3rd party plugins for the piano in Mainstage (I'll be writing a blog soon comparing the different options), Mainstage does have a decent built-in piano sound that when tweaked, sounds pretty darn good.

I only ask one thing- will you let me know what you think of the patch once you've downloaded it and used it? I'd love to hear what you liked about it, didn't like, and how you think it could be better. You can leave a comment or send me an email.
